I would agree with you if the default was portmap=YES, but in
	-current the default is portmap=NO.

	The argument now is that if I set 'nfs_client=YES' it should
	start everything needed to work as an nfs client.

	I still support having an extra 'WARNING:' in this case, but
	I would expect it to start portmap.
